so im 99% sure my engine is shooting light smoke due to my super old and stock ct-26... it was on the 'loose' side of things when i put it back on, hoping that the oil flow would tighten it up a bit :3d_frown: so i wanna hear who rebuilt your turbo, how much, and many miles are on it...

its just a bad situation... i feel bad for the shop, i've done TONS of work for friends and they've paid in payments, or paid it in full when the job was done. but this car was taken apart, engine pulled, everything. just to install the turbo kit was like at least $800 in labor i would think...

my n/a wiht a 4.3LSD felt a lot 'quicker' but my turbo supra with the 3.73LSD feels overall MUCH faster (duh!) im much happier with the 3.73 though, i wouldnt mind the 3.9 though... defintaley a good compromise.

sweet. i'll go swing by parts store and grab some next time. and i have spare tail lights that i was going to practice on! lol

what did you tint the front turn signals with? VHT nightshade?

or the one between the throttle body and the 3000 pipe... mine was worthless when i pulled it.

fenders are normally always in good condition, especially the pass. side... and sweet shit on the TB... i cant wait till you get that all done, if you need anybody to 'test' it let me know! and i might... i had forgotten about it, im gonna hit up my buddy and see what he says is up for...

yeah... there was quite a bit of time researching what parts, and how much. the best thing to do is contact some of the vendors on here and talk to them. specifically suprarich http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30616 he has AMAZING deals on stuff... and im sure he could put...

and it has sawz on it... hahahahahahaha i think thats a good diss on a cobra... those years sucked anyways.

shoot me a list of what ya got. i might need some stuff.

i didnt think you had that much work... but i guess i didnt look at the car enough. lol nice turbo setup though! you ever find a turbo throttle body?

i would go the craigslist route, only cause you can see the engine, and it looks beat on the outside, then its probably not in better shape inside... and like suprastanger said, the R154's arent that hard to find...

i had my crank cut .10/.10 and everything is fine... if they were going to take a shit im sure it would have been last night when i was going WOT in 3rd down the road.... whats important is they pull the plugs and clean the crank super good. and i looked at that kit too, and i found it wasnt...

and i thought crazy shit happened in CA! i dont see why they didnt request half way through for at least half of the 16k bill before they kept working on it... or at least some money! so as i keep reading it... the whole situation sounds stupid. the shop just kept working on the car from...

have you looked around at the local junkyards? i just looked through your build thread. why cant you use that last engine????? im very confused on why you want a JDM engine...

fuck nascar... that shit is a waste of TV... ALMS is a thousand times better. and i guess i dont watch enough of this UFC stuff to really care... i only watched the olympics cause at work there was a 50'' plasma tv... lol i dont watch TV in general i guess... everything is so one sided. and...

just putting a 'cone filter' for my air filter made my turbo loud!

i wouldnt build a car just to compete in ONE single event... unless thats all you care about. lol if you have a ton of money, go JZ... but if you wanna save some money, then go 7m (go compare prices for the 'main' components and you'll be amazed how big the difference is between the jz and...

im 'paranoid' about leaks and all sorts of little things so all of my gaskets got a thin coating of http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/rodi_2015_63158722 and i have ZERO leaks anywhere, even works on exhaust manifold gaskets. i used this on the oil pan, and none of my bolts are even...

mine resets it, kinda... lol cause i clicked it today, and it moved it, and pulling it out did nothing... might just pull the cluster and take a look and paint my needles too...
